Complying with what was promised in my previous publication: Fight or run away, here I bring you a new publication that will interest you:
Many of your victories and / or defeats are the result of the overprotection of your brain.
Today we will deal with an interesting topic
I'll tell you, the responsible is your Brain when you overprotect
Yes, so you understand it faster, I tell you:
Humans live in a herd, ¿Do you know what your herd is? Simple, your relatives, your friends, your co-workers, your children, are the members of your herd.
Now, your brain avoids at all costs that you can go through a shameful situation, avoid creating problems with the herd, your
herd, "The society".
Imagine that a child is in a park playing, running; in short, he is having fun, but with him, his Daddy is "brain", and he is very aware of his activities, he is alert so that he does not hit himself, that he does not fall, generally takes care of him, and suddenly make a public call to participate in a singing competition, the child wants to participate, but Daddy "Brain" prevents him from singing, with the fear that he might be ashamed, convince him with "valid" arguments, that prevent you from participating in the event, it is definitely your father and the is "occupied", does not want anything "bad" to happen to your child.
Many of your behaviors as an individual are socialized traits that are rooted in the animal instinct, when you are afraid of living an experience in which you may be ashamed, is triggered in the emotional brain, an ancestral alarm, more specifically in the cerebral amygdala, that alarm is related to the fear of being expelled from the herd, it is an "irrational fear" in which you believe, that the herd may consider it disposable, and there the shame is considered a serious defect, a reason for the flock to discard you, the instinctive equation works like this:
Therefore, the simple act of public speaking or dancing, can be experienced as a kind of medieval style execution in a public square.
While it is true that our brain is there to protect, it is also likely to overprotect you, in the same way that some parents overprotect their children by preventing them from trying different experiences in life.
From now on I invite you to value about those that prevents you from doing what you really want, ¿Do you want to sing, dance, talk, jump, act? Do it, do not worry about the herd, they are more concerned about them, than seeing your life. ¡What are you waiting for!
